ICSE is the premier forum for presenting and discussing the most recent and significant technical research contributions in the field of Software Engineering. We are extremely grateful to the PC: They wrote over 1800 reviews, 550 meta-reviews, placed over 10,000, comments, made over 3500 edits to improve your reviews – all while also teaching, advising your students, and taking care of their families during a pandemic. We will announce the acceptance rate after finalizing all conditional decisions. Following an online discussion, the program committee decided to accept 138 papers, including 30 conditional ones. The remaining 602 papers went through a thorough review process, with at least three reviewers, one meta-reviewer, and an area chair per paper. Of these, 13 were desk rejected for double-blind or formatting violations.
We welcome submissions addressing topics across the full spectrum of Software Engineering. We invite high quality submissions of technical research papers describing original and unpublished results of software engineering research.
